Paper Piecing Sampler Lessons

In this class you will learn the value of Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP).  Alex will be working with classic quilt blocks that lend themselves to FPP in this fun and easy sampler quilt. The blocks will be presented in order of difficulty. By the end you will have a deep understanding of the process AND create a fresh and fun wall hanging. 

This class is created using Facebook/YouTube LIVE sessions. These are recordings of those sessions.

The mat that Alex is using with the wool pressing pad on the back, is this available or is it made by gluing the two together?

I’m having a difficult time with the Pineapple block. I keep trimming on the wrong line. What is the secret to this block?

I must have bought the wrong type of valium. What I bought is transparent but It looks so much thicker than Alex is using. What type is she using?

Will it be easier to print a pattern from a PDF versus the book? I am thinking the book won't lay flat enough without distorting the page at the bound side. When you were talking about the pineapple pattern it hit me that books don't bend...

Will it be easier to print a pattern from a PDF versus the book? I am thinking the book won't lay flat enough without distorting the page at the bound side. When you were talking about the pineapple pattern it hit me that books don't bend easily. I bought the book and wonder if the PDF would be available to those who bought the book.

If I purchase the PDF version of the Paper Piecing book, will I be able to print the patterns for my own use? I’m using an iMac and/or an iPad. Thank you.
